Npcap BSOD

[Michael Muir <michael.muir () gmail com>]

Hi, I'm not sure what is the correct method of communicating BSOD errors
with you when using NPCAP but I found this address on GitHub so I'm giving
it a try.

Please direct me to the correct forum for this discussion if email is not
appropriate.

I am using NMAP/NPCAP with Home Assistant and have been experiencing BSOD
ever since I first attempted to use the NMAP/NPCAP component as a device
tracker. I have continued to experience the BSOD issue since around version
0.28 of HASS and continue to have issues on the 0.34.3 so I do not believe
that my issue is related to HASS.

I have managed to capture a photo of my BSOD (as attached) which seems to
indicate that my issue is with npcap.sys so I have today installed the
latest version I can find which is 0.78 r2 as I have read similar issues
with older versions.

My current Nmap installed version is 7.31.

I am also concerned that my operating system may be an issue with
compatibility to NPCAP as I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 which I've
just found is not listed as a compatible operating system. I am using this
server as a host and are running Hyper-V virtual servers however my NPCAP
instance is running on the host operating system.

I've attempted to obtain the C:\Windows\Minidump) or C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP to
supply to you but both files are dated over a month ago but my most recent
BSOD was today (within an hour of using the HASS NMAP component I will
experience a BSOD).

I would appreciate any support you can offer me as I would love to utilize
the NMAP component of HASS to provide device tracking in my Home Automation
project.

Kind Regards, Mike
